This will probably be my last blog from Japan. Tomorrow is a busy day and I'm not sure I will have to time to post any more photos. It is almost midnight now and I have to get some sleep. I'm disappointed that there are so many things I have not had time to share. For example.....

Did I tell you that I woke up on Saturday morning to an earthquake while in Chigasaki? It actually was strong enough that it rocked my bed enough to wake me up! Not really scary...just a little surreal.

Have I told you about the latest fashions for young Japanese women? Mini-skirts and boots are all the rage. Too bad I can't share all those photos!

How about all the modes of transportation that I have seen and/ or used? So different than the U.S.

And I have neglected to keep up with NEW FOOD OF THE DAY news item. Trust me...I've eaten plenty of new foods....some that I will never know what there were. One of the highlights was when we all were at a restaurant for lunch and got excited when we were served good old spaghetti......a food that we all knew! Our excitement quickly diminished when we discovered octopus tentacles mixed in with the pasta!

And finally....just how the heck am I going to get all this luggage home? My suitcases weigh more than I do. Really!

My final entry will be posted after I arrive home safe and sound on Thursday. When it is the middle of the night and I can't sleep....I blog you all one last time.

Until then....sayonara!
